Boek dit als You want a sleek, modern base in the First Street cultural hub with a wellness suite and a free minibar, and you don't mind an open-plan bathroom.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Location in the vibrant First Street development near HOME and Deansgate
- Free wellness suite with Finnish sauna, steam room, and 24-hour gym
- Complimentary minibar with soft drinks (and beer in premium rooms)
Snel Overzicht: A stylish, glass-heavy hotel where the 'open plan' bathroom concept might be a little too intimate for anyone but a significant other.
Beoordeeld door @NicB: I stayed at Innside Manchester and was blown away by how spacious the suite was. Having a separate living area to work in was a game-changer, and the bar downstairs has such a cool energy. Definitely my go-to for Manchester trips now.
